PRIEST: Jesus prayed ‘Father, may they all be one’. We now turn to the Father, asking that he will send the Spirit upon us, as we pray for the Church and for our world. 

READER: For the Church, that all who make up the Body of Christ may be filled with the gifts of the Spirit and make God’s presence known throughout the world. 
Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

For the unity of Christian, that Christ’s prayer will encourage us to share our various gifts and so build up the whole people of God.

Hear our prayer. 

For our own parish community, that through this Eucharist we will be ever more Christ-like in the way we treat our neighbours.

Lord in your mercy

Lord in your mercy
Hear our prayer. 

In a moment of silence, we offer our own petitions.

We join our prayers with our Blessed Mother.
